Pregnancy test (2 tests)

If you suspect that you are pregnant, there are home pregnancy tests that you can buy without a prescription to check your level of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), suggesting that you are pregnant. If the test is positive, it is always important that you ask your doctor if you are pregnant, determine your due date, and determine which foods you should eat.

When a woman is pregnant, her body begins to produce a hormone called HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin). It is present in the urine in amounts that increase with time.

What does the Prima Home Pregnancy Test do?

The early pregnancy test can detect a pregnancy. It indicates a positive result as soon as a HCG concentration of 15 mIU / ml is present. The test design guarantees a simple, safe and hygienic test procedure.

For whom is the pregnancy test suitable?

The test is suitable for women who want to know if they are pregnant.

How does the home pregnancy test work?

The test bar measures urinary HCG levels. Due to the high sensitivity of the test, the morning urine has to be used, as here the HCG concentration is highest. The result can be read after 5 minutes.

Since the HCG increase in the female body is subject to fluctuations and maximum safety is ensured, the test was designed as a double pack.

Why should I perform the pregnancy test?

The purpose of the test is to identify pregnancy, provide security, and adjust the lifestyle as quickly as possible.

Do not start too late

By the age of 35, most women who want to become pregnant can become pregnant within a year. From the age of 36, the probability of becoming pregnant is slower, slow starting at 38 years of age. Nevertheless, women over the age of 40 may get pregnant, but that can take longer. In addition, the risk of pregnancy complications and illnesses or genetic changes such as Down syndrome increases with age.

Contrary to what many people think, age also affects fertility in men. Experts believe that it will be more difficult to father children from the age of 50 years. Even with older fathers, the risk is greater that the child gets certain diseases.

The pill has no influence

The contraceptive pill has no negative impact on fertility. Studies have shown that even women who have taken the pill for years can easily become pregnant.

Men have to protect themselves from heat

There are indications that heat can reduce sperm production and thus reduce the number of sperm cells. Men should therefore prevent the testicles from overheating by avoiding very hot baths and sitting with their laptop on their lap for a long time. With the male fertility test, you can test the quality and quantity of sperm.

Often, frequent sex increases the chances of pregnancy

Several times a week and preferably daily sex increases the likelihood of pregnancy. Although the number of sperm cells decreases with frequent sexual intercourse, the number of sperm cells in healthy men is likely to be enough to give birth to a child. Check the quality / quantity of sperm with the male fertility test.

Evaluate your cycle

Only about 28% of women will get pregnant immediately if they try. You can significantly increase your chances of getting pregnant and shorten the time to pregnancy by up to 6 months by analysing your cycle. Within 6 months, 81% of women who want to get pregnant become pregnant with a cycle observation. After a year, it is even 92%. Without cycle observation, and just „waiting“, only about 60% of women become pregnant within six months.

The duration of the menstrual cycle varies from woman to woman. The cycle usually varies between 23 and 35 days. Once the egg is released, it moves along the fallopian tube into the uterus. The ovum can survive for up to 24 hours. The survival time of the sperm varies, but is usually between 3 and 5 days. That is why you are particularly fertile on the days before ovulation and the ovulation days themselves – these are the days when pregnancy is particularly likely. You can do the ovulation test to determine your ovulation and increase your chances of getting pregnant.
